Overview
Luminary and younger-generation Verbier artists join together for three contrasting Romantic works from three different centuries.
Composed in 2010, Igor Raykhelson’s neo-Romantic String Quartet in F minor opens on a Tchaikovsky-ish elegiac idea which then becomes the melodic basis of the ensuing waltz music. After a darkly contemplative Adagio meditabondo, the finale re-introduces the elegiac idea. Chausson’s 1898 Piano Quartet in A major is equally full of richly textured dialogue, coloured by antique modal harmonies. Outer Animé movements – the finale re-introducing previous themes – encase a long-lined slow movement and a delicately lilting Simple et sans hâte. Schumann’s texturally and thematically packed First Piano Trio of 1847 opens on restless music whose rising fourth will form the basis of a new theme at movement’s centre, introduced in glassy sul ponticello tones. Similarly, the second movement’s smooth central section is a transformation of its scampering, scherzo-like outer ends. The third is a sober Langsam, tipping straight into the more cloudless finale.
